Project Description

This project saw Fredon complete the supply, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of all electrical and communication services to all parts of the International Terminal Building Northern Concourse Expansion at Brisbane Airport.

The expansion across three levels was intended to increase efficiency for both arrivals and departures, adding capacity for airlines to increase scheduled services as well as optimising boarding capacity and accelerating boarding time for passengers. Commencing in 2017, the expansion included:

An extra 13,500m of space;

Six additional boarding zones;

New passenger zones;

Four new aerobridges; and

Two new walk-out gates.
